She’s already ahead in the popular vote, if you count Michigan and Florida — which teh Dimmycraps know they are going to have to do.
Are you well?
again with the “if”...LOL
come on, get series...you can put a fork in Clinton...
she’s already running for 2012 at this point...
BTW, when is Clinton up for reelection in NY???
anyone...anyone...Ferris? LOL
[tinfoil]
Perhaps McCain will put Cankles on his ticket and trounce Hussein in November.
President McCain then succumbs to cancer sometime in early 2011...
[/tinfoil]
she's up for reelection in 2012
interesting question...
Barring any upsets, does Clinton run for reelection of her Senate seat or for POTUS in 2012?
I’m not resurrecting anything.
People did go to the polls that day, and they did vote. Those votes belong to the persons they voted for.
I’m NOT talking about delegates.
“Fit as a ruttin’ buck”
I don't care about the idiot demonRAT voters. We have lost them. I care about the independent moderate voters. We want them to see this as a genuine problem with Obama, not as a Republican Dirty Trick.
They all agreed. clintin too. She thought this whole thing would be a cake walk. She found out differently. It’s HER problem...not his. Her arrogance had caught up with her big time.
No Clinton cheating but ....somehow I doubt Mort factored in the primary in China. I hear that Hillary is likely to win by a margin of several million in that one.
Howie will agree to let Michigan, Florida and China votes count.
Amennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
They all agreed. They all agreed. They all agreed. hillllereee like always whines and cries about everything.
If Clinton wants to run for President in 2012, she can simply file paperwork for the NY Senate seat, and she will win in November. She does not have to run in New York, because she will win that seat, no matter what.
IIRC, Lieberman ran for his Senate Seat and VEEP in 2000.
Well the votes in those states would mean something if Obama had been on the ballot with Hillary (and not followed DNC guidelines). I am still amazed that Hillary catches no flack whatsoever for “remaining” on those ballot to run essentially unopposed.
One thing I have always admired about W is that he understands that when you have a snake underneath the heel of your boot, the proper course of action is to press down hard, and keep your foot down.
After it was no longer possible for Obama to get back on the ballot in Michigan, Hillary's campaign went to work campaigning there to try and make it seem that she haddn't abandoned them like Obama had, despite them both pledging not to campaign there.
Obama's campaign figured this out a bit slowly and tried to build some support there as well.
Hillary decided not to play by the rules, and Obama did damage control.
But, I’m talking about votes cast and you’re talking about delegates.
Folks can agree all they want to about who gets which delegate, but they cannot pretend that a vote was not cast when it actually was cast.
Well, you can argue that votes were cast, but the rules say those votes are meaningless, so not all the candidates were equally prepared to campaign there, and many voters chose not to vote because they were under the impression that the vote didn't count for anything.
You can guess how things would have turned out had it been a genuine vote that was supposed to count towards choosing the Democratic nominee, but it wasn't so all you are doing is guessing.
The party ruled that the votes didn't count before the primary. You can't change the rules after the fact. If Florida and Michigan want to hold valid presidential primaries, they could do that, but they have chosen not to do so because of the cost. That's their choice. But their invalid primaries shouldn't count.
They were not able to cancel the primary. They were only able to decree their decrees about delegates.
That's a ridicules attempt to create a distinction where there isn't one. As far as the Democratic National Party is concerned those primaries aren't official primaries. Their delegates aren't going to be seated because they weren't chosen according to party rules.
The invalid primaries they held were no more meaningful that a straw poll.
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒE
The votes are only meaningless in terms of delegates. They are still votes.
They count in a popular vote total.
They could have voted by write-in for Oscar the Grouch. If so, Someplace, there should be a list of votes with one vote for Oscar the Grouch.
That’s my point exactly. Stop her now once and for all. She is no good for this country or our people. We don’t need them back again with their disrespectful behaviors, their scandals, their lies and whatever else. Let them go somewhere else ... NOT the White House. Obama will win the nomination and today he received the endorsement from a superdelage in Indiana. It’s on Drudge...an excellent article and I love how he says the clintin machine attack dogs will be after him. I also like how he did it...he didn’t call the clintins first. Good for him. Someone stood up with courage. Go Obama!!!
